USDA May OK The Country's First Horse Slaughter Plant In 6 Years: LAist
The United States Department of Agriculture is on track to open the country's first horse slaughter plant in six years.
The plant says it plans to raise horse meat that it would sell to Europeans, but if a market for horse meat opens up back here in the states, it would consider that, too. The fear of consumers, of course, is that once the processing plant opens back up and business comes back to the States, horse meat will find its way into beef products like Taco Bell tacos and Ikea meatballs, as it has in many European countries.
